Coloured MRI scan of organophosphate brain damage
Organophosphate brain damage. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a mans brain showing damage caused by organophosphate poisoning. The brain is seen in horizontal (axial) section with the front of the head at top. The brains fluid-filled ventricles (green) and clefts (sulci) have become greatly enlarged. Organophosphates are often used in insecticides, for example in sheep dips used to kill parasites. Over-exposure can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and breathing difficulties. The neurological damage seen here indicates prolonged exposure

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the devastating effects of organophosphate poisoning on the human brain. In this coloured MRI scan, we witness a horizontal section of a man's brain, revealing the extensive damage caused by prolonged exposure to these toxic chemicals. The image portrays the brain with its fluid-filled ventricles and clefts significantly enlarged, depicted in a striking shade of green. These abnormalities serve as visual evidence of the neurological harm inflicted by organophosphates. Organophosphates are commonly found in insecticides like sheep dips used to eliminate parasites. However, when overexposed to these substances, individuals may experience severe symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and breathing difficulties. The profound impact captured in this photograph serves as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with organophosphate poisoning. It highlights not only its immediate health implications but also emphasizes potential long-term consequences on neurological well-being. Through this powerful image from Science Photo Library, viewers gain insight into the intricate complexities of our brains and how they can be profoundly affected by external factors such as toxins. This thought-provoking piece urges us to prioritize our health and safety while raising awareness about the risks posed by harmful substances within our environment.
